What a great car

I just recently replaced my suspension on my E too. I am about ready to turn my 07 SC into a camper. I want to do more solo camping. I just bought a cot so I am not having to build anything. Good luck on the build of your new camper!

Cool! Check out my camper channel for my previous builds and new build, of course. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p2183Jqtkcuym8o.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6p9o9Gres3Ylrw.html

Glad you were able to get another one. Just bought one last month and I’m loving it.

awesome!

Neat Element, looks like you got a great starting point! Elements seem like spiritual successors to VW buses - they have a unique culture, are great for camping and utility, and people keep trading them and fixing them up over and over again.

I don't see myself selling this one. Will just keep fixing it. haha

I had a 2005 for about three years (2009-2012) and also regretted selling it ever since. Last month we found a solid 2007 EX AWD AT and bought it. I have been grinning ear to ear ever since!!!

haha, we are in similar situations. I have been fixing mine up. I plan to keep this one for a LONG TIME.

I owned 8 element at various times

Same here. Had a 2005 Element I bought in 2008. Drove it for 9 years and loved the reliability, simplicity and incredible utility. Sold it because we needed a car that could tow 5,000 lbs. My wife and I have missed our Element ever since. I keep threatening to buy another one just to have it. We have a friend whose brother has a PRISTINE 2012 Element and I have told him if he ever wants to sell it I am first in line. I will own another Element one day!

I was pretty happy to get mine. I figure I will just keep it for a long time. Even engine swaps are relatively cheap.

haha. thanks

Is that the original front bumper? I just picked up an element also and my front bumper is super faded like that also more than all the other panels. I wonder if that’s a thing?

Yes, they are all faded. Some people use a heat gun to try to refresh it. Others try wiping solutions on them.

Whoever designed this car had the Land Rover LR3 in mind !!😆

Not sure. But there have been constant rumors that they will bring it back.

@@GearGadgetExperiments will you buy a brand new one if they make it again? You can trade in the Maverick 😁

Probably something to do with evolving emissions standards, fuel mileage allowance by federal regulation and the end of production of the K series.

4 seater that lost to a majority of buyers at the dealer who walked out with a CRV instead. Nevertheless this has been the best and most versatile vehicle I’ve ever owned . It’s a shame Honda doesn’t see its value anymore. Toyota seems to be exploring some of the original design points in their future offerings so I’m hopeful we’ll get something . Honda as a car manufacturer has become quite conservative and boring . The Ridgeline is about the only vehicle in their lineup that holds my interest
